Battery "Only The Diehard Remain" Layout

Battery was one of the few bands in the 90s that was playing fast hardcore while everyone was slowing it down. Granted they didn't sound like a youth crew band (not really until their final release), they really had their own sound. They started off as a project between Ken Olden and Brian McTernan and eventually morphed into so much more. This is a scan of the original release of "Only the Diehard Remain" on Tidal Records before it was "re-released"...

Dark Empire Strikes Back Compilation

This comp came out in 1994 and features a good variety of bands from Cleveland at the time. They even included a song from Mushroomhead which (while I dont care for the band) is cool to showcase different style of music. The comp includes tracks from Integrity, Ringworm, Outface, Confront, and more.Dark Empire Strikes Back - Compilationhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=2PGSA...

At Both Ends - final issue

Sometime this fall, the final issue of At Both Ends zine will see its release. Accompanying the final issue will be a 2x7" featuring:BaneGradeUnrestrainedBetween Earth & SkyIt's sad to see one of the best zines of the last 10 years come to an end, but it's very nice to see it go out with a bang like this. I'll post more info as it filters in over time. Until then, for more information, please contact info@atbothendsmagazine.com, rather than...

Internet Issues

Alright since Ive been back in Tallahassee, my internet has been horrible. They wont be sending anyone out to fix it until Tuesday so because of this, I havent been able to upload anything. Ive got a stack of CDs that Ive ripped and ready to upload but this has put a bit of damper on that plan. I just wanted to give a heads up as to what was up...Ive got the Until the End "comeback" show this weekend in Tampa followed by a trip up to Syracuse next week so hopefully Ill find some good stuff at Soundgarden. Thanks for the support and keep checking...

Morning Again "My Statement Of Life In A Dying World" Layout

One thing I always loved about Immigrant Sun Records was the packaging. Sean Mallinson always did an incredible job and made the layouts so special, as if you felt like this was a limited release and you were lucky enough to pick one up. Morning Again released two records on Immigrant Sun, this being their first. The cover was a nice glossy full color print and instead of the usual one sheet insert, the label made a booklet held together with twine....

Split Lip "Fate's Got A Driver"

I finally got a copy of this after searching for some time. Aj, who runs Path To Misery blog, was nice enough to do a trade with me so here it is in all its glory. I did a 256 VBR rip of it so it sounds great and did a nice high quality scan of the cover. This is the original release before the vocals were re-recorded and re-released as Chamberlain. *NEW LINK* Split Lip - Fate's Got A Dri...

Dan O'Mahony Interview

Jake/Andrew Jacobs here yet again with the intro to my interview with legendary hardcore singer and frontman Dan O'Mahony. I first saw Dan in action 19 years ago in early 1990 when he was fronting Carry Nation. While introducing the song "Through You", Dan mentioned having been in and out of a series of obsessive and co-dependent relationships with girls and being as how I'd gotten out of one myself just a few months prior and unfortunately knew...

Dave Sine Interview

Today, Jake brings us an interview with photographer Dave Sine. Throughout the 90s, Dave consistently put out zines and is currently a regular contributor on Double Cross webzine. To see some his photography work, check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/tidbitsphotos/ as well as http://tidbitsphotos.blogspot.com/When and how did you get interested in photography? I got into photography mainly out of necessity. I simply needed and wanted photos...

Anger Means (Strife) "Life Stained Red" demo track

When Strife went on hiatus (broke up) in 1998, the band reformed shortly after as Anger Means or Angermeans and wrote a few songs that were demoed. This song is one of the two I have heard, and was later re-recorded for the Angermeans record that Strife released in late 2000. Personally, I prefer this version to the one on the full length as its much more raw and in your face. While Im not a fan of the last record (no offense guys) this song is great...

Classic Layouts: 108 - Threefold Misery

Throughout the 90s (and today), 108 were the one band that were accepted in most circles regardless of the crowds personal feelings towards religion. Was it because Rob Fish sang in Ressurection? Was it because Vic was in Beyond, Inside Out, and Shelter? I think it was because no matter how many people were there, they went out and gave it 100% every time causing themselves bodily harm in the process. Over the course of their initial career period...

State Craft - Never Forget...
